Messenger:    To be wrapped in the embrace of the
                                 Divine God.

It is a place of rapture, of knowing

         Him and loving Him, I am so

         united to God, so

         aware of each Person of the Trinity and My

         relationship with each Person.

 

My heart is filled with love for the

         Trinity. 

In that embrace in ecstasies after

         communion or whenever He acts

         on my soul, I know the oneness

         of God.

 

I can know so much at one time, to say

         "so much" sounds like I am measuring a quantity,

         I do not measure what I

         know, it is knowledge of Himself

         He imparts to me and in those

         moments I am so intensely sensitive

         to every word.

 

Did you hear a note or phrase of notes

         in the symphony and it strikes

         a chord of deep knowledge and

         emotion in your soul —

 

When God imparts this special grace to

         me, with one word I am so full of intense

         knowledge and oneness in Him.

 

That of which I speak is ineffable, as

         Father Carter would say.

To me, I write because Our Lord beckons

         me to write to you, but I want to

         soak in the presence of God, always,

         always, wanting more, a deeper

         presence, "eyeing" heaven, longing for

         completeness in Him, waiting with

         the desire to be engulfed totally by

         My Divine God, my Love.

 

His love is encompassing, His love

         filling my soul, His love setting my

         little heart on fire and longing

         as a hungry desert to be filled

         more and more and more and more and wanting

         Him and His Knowledge to fill

         my soul and make me whole

         in Him.

 

I am but a simple soul, having

         tasted the grandeurs of Thee,

         like a stalking soul, hungry

         for the food of heaven.

 

I thirst after Him and want to taste

         so deeply of His delights —

         Forever to be embraced in that

                 Fullness of life in Him.

 

I thank you God for the Eucharist

         and for the priest and we have

         given our lives praying for them.

 

So important to our Church is His

         holy ministers.

 

My God, I love Thee and long for

         completeness in Thee, to taste

         of Thee ever deeper is my

         delight.

 

My God, I love You, I love You, I love You.

 

Amen, Alleluia 

Christ has died and He has risen from the dead.

                             Alleluia

 

Praise the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Forever

         and ever. Amen.

Alleluia, impart to us Your gifts —

         Flood us with your grace —

         Make us whole —

         We are, but little babies, thirsting for

               the milk of salvation, completeness

               in Thee —

Oh Divine Savior, Come and fill our hearts with

         Your grace — with Your life —

         We want to be filled by Thee.

Prayer for Union with Jesus

    Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.
